MEGATBEMA. COLPOTEOCHIA. 305 



dilated ; hind tibiae elongately bicalcarate, with the larger extending 

 beyond centre of metatarsus. Areolet small, triangular and petio- 

 late, emitting the second recurrent from its apex ; upper continuous 

 with lower basal nervure ; stigma somewhat elongate and not much 

 broader than costa, emitting radius from apex of its basal third ; 

 nervellus distinctly angled and intercepted at it lower fourth. 



Range. Sikkim. 



This genus is said to be easily recognised by its very large and 

 elongate metathoracic spiracles.

A smooth black shining species, with dense white pubescence, and 

 the greater part of the antenna? and anterior legs red. Head with 

 face and clypeus densely punctate and with long dense pubescence ; 

 frons and vertex more closely and finely punctate. Antenna with 

 the fourteen basal joints red. Thorax with the mesonotum sparsely 

 but distinctly punctate, its basal impression stoutly bicarinate on 

 either side; pleurae punctate and with long white hairs; metanotum 

 basally glabrous, with the petiolar area strongly and irregularly 

 punctate, its apex centrally elevated, finely strigose and circularly 

 incised. Scutellum sparsely and not strongly, though distinctly, 

 punctate. Abdomen double the length of the thorax, with its 

 apical segments bluntly pointed and with dense black hairs. Legs 

 black, Avith the anterior trochanters, femora, tibia?, and tarsi red ; 

 all the calcaria white; tibise and tarsi densely, femora more sparsely, 

 white pilose. Wings hyaline to the basal nervure, thence infumate,

GENOTYPE, Ichneumon elegantulus, Schrank. 



Head transverse, with the vertex rounded ; face somewhat 

 convex and subprotuberant ; clypeus not discrete ; mandibles 

 basally broad, convexly constricted apically, with the teeth subeqnal 

 in length ; eyes oblong and distinctly emarginate next the antenna?. 

 Antennae stout and filiform, with their apices attenuate; not or 

 hardly shorter than the body. Thorax stout ; metathorax with 

 spirac-les elongate and parallel-sided ; metanotal area? wanting, with 

 but indications of a minute basal area. Abdomen ovate-subfusi- 

 form, subsessile, nitidulous and pilose ; first segment gradually
